How Could You Say That???

"Any gamer can play M games. Parents and your age got nothing to do with playing M games. If you really wanna play M games, you can. If you feel you can't, ur a wuss." I read this earlier today... this is exactly the attitude that politicians are using against the entirety of honest game players. Parents, and the age a game player is has EVERYTHING to do with playing M rated games. If the game player is under 17, then it is up to their parents to decide whether or not the game player should play that game. Really, this is a lousy attitude to have about this, and will only invite governmental control over not only game ratings, but possibly even game production and development itself. So when the day comes that video games can no longer be made freely and unadulterated we will have attitudes like this to blame for it all. Any serious, honest game player who cares even the slightest about video games and the video game industry should take offense to anyone who holds such an opinion about the video game rating system. And they should speak out against anyone who holds such a view, tell them why they should not hold such an opinion, and explain to them why.
